How can I use it with Level D? I have tried the send keys w/the FSIM software, but there is too much latency with rotaries. Can I use the FSCONV program and send offsets?? I have tried, but I can't get it to work. If it is possible to use FSCONV, can someone give me an example of how to set up a rotary to change the MCP altitude? Thank you

Have you tried asking Leo either by email or through his own site?The new version of FSIM has (according to the site) direct support for offsets buiilt in.Richard

>If it is possible to>use FSCONV, I'm not familiar with GammaRay, but if GammaRay uses FSUIPC to interface with FS9, then you can use FSCONV to 'enrich' FSUIPC with the Level-D offsets...RegardsNico Kaanhttp://www.nicokaan.nl

Thanks all for the replies. I acually have the GammaTron instead of the GammaRay to clarify. Anyway, the FSIM software does allow offsets, but the documentation says that are Flight Sim memory space and not FSUIPC. Is there anyway to make it work with FSCONV?Thank you.

Hi,I have had a look at their documentation but my conclusion is that they do not use FSUIPC, so you cannot use FSCONV.But why don't you switch to another hardware solution that does interface with FSUIPC?. Like IOCards (my preference) or Phidgets, or..I mean, it's the software that makes the difference. The hardware needed for a home cockpit is very easy, anybody can build that.1. Choose a panel that can be interfaced, 2. Choose a software system that can handle the interface3. Choose accompanying hardware.My 2 cents ...Nicohttp://www.nicokaan.nl

Hi All,I am using the GammaRay with Nico's FSCONV.I chose it because it has 256 digital inputs (to cover my overhead).I use IOCards for some outputs, and 7 segment LED's, and rotary inputsI also use phidgets for Annunciators (also for overhead) becuase there are so darn many of them (carefull of the bit values with phidgets as FS2Phidgets does not fully support Nicos bit naming scheme!)I hope that the new FSIM works with offsets and FSCONV, rather than the sendkeys option I tested in the past, which was unreliable and clunky.I had to map a key to a joystick button press using WideFS, then in FSUIPC, map that joystick press to an offset.Waaaay to complicated and slow. I was hoping that the FSIM offset bit toggles would work through FSUIPC as well, is there any reason why they shouldnt?I just shifted house, so my cockpit is back into 14,500 pieces, but hope to get back into it once i clear out some junk from the new "plane room". I can get things up and running and test it then.CheersChris

OK.I got all worried by this post, so went and dug out the Gamma board, and plugged it in. Installed the new version of FSIM.In the help section of FSIM is the following statement:"Please note that all 3rd party offsets are not supported as they reside in FSUIPC's memory space, not MSFS's memory space (i.e. PM offsets). As such, these offsets are inaccessible by this application."

Beta Innovations supports MS Flight Simulator through FSIM which is provided as a free utility. Do not expect me to be responsible for supporting other 3rd party add-ons you paid them money for. This includes FSUIPC, PM, LDS, etc, etc, etc...FSIM provides support for MSFS internal functions and "offsets" period!Chris, you'll find my reply to your post on my forum.Dave12345, if you recently purchased the GammaTron, please contact me by email for a possible solution.To anyone new to cockpit building that is in the process of traversing the minefield of hardware products out there, Nico summed it up perfectly...1. Choose a panel that can be interfaced,2. Choose a software system that can handle the interface3. Choose accompanying hardware.And let me add, 4. if in doubt ASK THE VENDOR before buying their hardware about compatibility with other products not listed on their site, be it MSFS, Falcon 4, X-Plane, LOMAC etc.5. Ask lots of questions on forums and get feedback from other builders before deciding.-Leo

>(carefull of the bit>values with phidgets as FS2Phidgets does not fully support>Nicos bit naming scheme!)There's an easy workaround for this problem.If you want to address say bit 20 in a word of 32 bits (by the way quite normal these days, all cpu's support that, many already support 64 bits), but your system can only address bits in words of 16 bits, then add 2 to the offset and subtract 16 from the bit number.So instead of bit 28 at offset 0x8B44 you take bit 12 at offset 0x8B46. (will have the same effect)Or if you can only handle bytes (=8 bit words):i.e. in stead of bit 28 at offset 0x8B44, take bit 4 at offset 0x8B47 ... (28 - (3 * 8))Cheers,Nicohttp://www.nicokaan.nl
